Employed To Serve announce Oct/Nov UK Headline Tour
NEW TRACK ‘TAKE BACK CONTROL’ RELEASED TODAY
DELUXE VERSION OF CURRENT ALBUM CONQUERING OUT NOW
Employed To Serve have today released a deluxe version of their current studio album, Conquering.
This updated version includes 4 new tracks: a heady mix of the new, the Remix and the live, in addition to a fresh cover image.
The brand-new recording is ‘Take Back Control’, a typically full-on number produced & mixed by Lewis Johns who worked with the band on the Conquering album itself; the Remix, meanwhile, is an inventive re-working of Conquering track ‘Sun Up To Sun Down’ featuring New Zealand metal three-piece, Alien Weaponry; while the two live tracks were recorded last year on the Gojira tour of Europe.
Check out brand new song, ‘Take Back Control’ HERE.

Meanwhile, having recently returned from a ridiculously successful tour with Gojira playing arenas across the UK & Europe, Employed To Serve can now proudly announce their own UK headline run. Starting up in Newcastle and finishing down in Brighton, the two-week stint includes a show at London’s Lafayette.

ETS’s current studio album, Conquering, was released on September 17th 2021 to mass critical acclaim; landing #4 in Metal Hammer’s albums of the year list and #6 in Kerrang! Conquering is a fully realised metamorphosis into the band they’ve always wanted to be.
Four albums in, and a steady stream of accolades in tow, Employed To Serve’s meteoric rise from genre hopefuls to becoming one of UK metal’s most consistently captivating bastions is indisputable.
